Filed March 7, 2023For Securities:MDT

Summary

This 8-K filing from Medtronic plc announces key dates and deadlines related to its 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM). The AGM is scheduled for October 19, 2023, with a record date of August 25, 2023, for determining shareholders eligible to vote. This filing is crucial for investors as it sets the timelines for submitting shareholder proposals and director nominations.

The company is providing updated timelines to ensure shareholders are aware of the requirements for presenting proposals or nominating directors, whether for inclusion in the proxy materials or for presentation directly at the meeting. Investors interested in actively participating in corporate governance through these avenues should pay close attention to the specified submission deadlines.
